The Denver Broncos are interested in free-agent running back Ahmad Bradshaw, the Denver Post reports. According to the report, the team is looking to upgrade its backfield despite good recent rushing production from both Willis McGahee and Knowshon Moreno.

Bradshaw hit the open market when the New York Giants released him in February. While feature backs such as Reggie Bush, Steven Jackson, Rashard Mendenhall and Shonn Greene have all found new homes, the strong, quick Bradshaw remains unsigned. Greene had also been on the Broncos' radar, per the Post, until he chose to leave the Jets for the Titans.

It's possible teams have stayed away because of durablity concerns that have always followed the 5-10, 214-pounder. He has had a series of foot problems and had surgery on his right foot after the season. But Bradshaw is a consistently tough runner when healthy and just turned 27 in March. The Broncos shouldn't be too worried about his injury history, given McGahee and Moreno carry their share of baggage in that area.

Bradshaw has worked well with Eli Manning and would be a good asset for Peyton Manning. If the Broncos choose not to sign Bradshaw or another veteran option, expect them to add a back in the draft. There's a good chance Alabama's Eddie Lacy will be available when they pick (No. 28 overall) in the first round.
